Mohammad Haeri

Mohammad Haeri, M.D., Ph.D., serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, specializing in Anatomic Pathology and Neuropathology with clinical focus on neurodegenerative disease diagnostics.

His educational trajectory includes:

• M.D. from Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran-Iran
• Ph.D. in Molecular Biology & Biochemistry from SUNY Upstate Medical University
• Postdoctoral Fellowships in Neuroscience & Physiology and Molecular & Human Genetics
• Pathology Residency (Anatomic and Clinical) at Baylor College of Medicine
• Neuropathology Fellowship at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine

Dr. Haeri's research centers on neuropathological mechanisms of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, investigating protein aggregation in astrocytes, unfolded protein response pathways, and neuroinflammatory processes in tauopathies like Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. His work bridges molecular pathology with computational approaches, particularly in AI-driven digital pathology applications for mitosis quantification and diagnostic accuracy enhancement.

Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals two dominant research thrusts: (1) Advanced spatial transcriptomic profiling of Alzheimer's disease progression in human prefrontal cortex and hippocampus at single-nucleus resolution, and (2) Development of human-AI collaborative frameworks for mitosis detection in cancer pathology. These studies consistently integrate molecular neuropathology with machine learning to address diagnostic challenges in neurodegeneration and oncology.
